Chapter 148 There are always troubles every now and then.

Listening to the pitter-patter of rain outside the wooden house, Xu Que couldn't help but feel a pang of melancholy.

As for what he was feeling melancholy about, he couldn't explain it himself.

Hou is quite sensitive to Xu Que's every move!

She sensed that Xu Que was sighing a little, so without saying a word, she pulled him into her arms and comforted him: "What's wrong, Xu Que? I'm here! Don't be sad! Don't be upset! Are you thinking about your ex-girlfriend again!"

"Hehehe! No!" Xu Que was quite touched when Hou comforted him like that! All the anxiety and unhappiness in his heart vanished!

Inside the cave of the Black Stone Tribe, Hou's coughs and waves of pressure silently pulled Xu Que's thoughts, which had drifted to the modern city, back to reality.

Bored, Xu Que opened his exchange shop in the dark, and his exchange coins had quietly risen back to 1500. Although he had previously bought a large iron pot for the Black Stone Tribe, the system had also rewarded him with a considerable amount of exchange coins for his interactions with Hou these past few days.

Xu Que looked at the beautiful and exquisite porcelain bowls with floral patterns and chopsticks carved with dragons and phoenixes in the exchange shop, wondering if he should get a set for everyone in the tribe.

But considering that primitive people in tribes mainly rely on gnawing, even if each person were given a set of bowls and chopsticks, they would still end up smashing the bowls and throwing away the chopsticks!

In order to save enough exchange coins to exchange for the most urgently needed items, Xu Que decided not to exchange them for anything! They've been living off others for most of their lives, so there's no rush.

Xu Que felt that teaching the church members how to make pottery was much more meaningful than simply giving them bowls.

The system's redemption shop has been updated with a variety of new items. Bandages, hemostatic forceps, disinfectant, table salt, maintenance-free automatic saws, sugar, bottled adrenaline, women's underwear, sneakers—all sorts of medicines and daily necessities are available! Unfortunately, the redemption rules are the same as before: these items can only be redeemed once, not infinitely!

This shows that the system was designed solely for Xu Que. Any purchase is made in a single, exclusive quantity, without considering other members of the tribe or requiring additional purchases. It only needs to ensure Xu Que has enough, which aligns with the system's initial design. From a long-term perspective, this approach better protects user privacy and lays the foundation for future upgrades and power enhancements. It must be said that the system is quite user-friendly in this respect!

In the primitive tribe, the nights were inexplicably long. Since he couldn't sleep anyway, Xu Que continued to scroll down the pages of the system's exchange shop.

As he flipped through the pages, he stumbled upon a treasure: a powerful-looking off-road motorcycle gleaming with blue light, the Thunder Shield Flying Lightning. This was a type of item he'd only ever dreamed of in his past life; its appearance in the exchange shop astounded Xu Que.

Xu Que's eyes suddenly lit up. He looked at the three views of the device from all angles, back and forth, up and down, left and right. He really liked it! He then flipped down a little to check the exchange rate of the currency it required.

Suddenly, she half-jokingly shouted, "I also quite like Xu Que! I was just thinking of finding an opportunity to tell him! And to ask him if he has feelings for me! Look at the tribes around us, which man with even a little talent doesn't have three wives and four concubines! Only our tribe's god has only one girlfriend, you! This is a bit out of step with the times and the trend of social development!"

“I think he must have at least two girlfriends!” the leader tentatively shouted.

Hearing the leader's words, Hou felt a surge of resentment welling up inside: "Hmph! Anyone who dares to steal my boyfriend, I'll fight them to the death!"

The leader also put away his carefree smile: "I would give my life for the person I love!"

The Blackrock tribe's leader is named Flower, and he is a highly respected figure within the tribe.

She was exceptionally beautiful, capable, and multi-talented, calm and shrewd in the face of adversity! Her management and command abilities were outstanding. She was once renowned throughout all the tribes of this world! She was like a powerful and ruthless nun, surrounded by countless admirers but with very few suitors! Because all the men felt that only the sun in the sky was worthy of her.

Xu Que was the first person to move her, and the first person to make her heart flutter.

Hua said that after she falls for Xu Que a hundred times, she will take off her disguise and show her true face to the world.

The current Blackrock tribe chief looks old and has a deeply furrowed face because she has applied a red clay-like substance to her face, which contains animal blood, crushed plant matter, and other ingredients.

In this world, every tribal chief must wear "disguise" to make himself look more mysterious, intimidating, and spiritually powerful! To put it simply, he mixes mud with other things to make his face look old and scary, making people feel disgusted or walk away. Only then can he achieve the desired effect.

The Blackrock tribe leader is actually only twenty-six years old. She is seven years older than Hou, who is only nineteen years old this year!

Just as the roar and the flower sword were about to be drawn, the chief of the Giant Deer tribe walked in from the cave.

"Wow! Wow! Wow! This is so beautiful!" The chief of the Giant Deer tribe looked at the snow-white sneakers on Hou's feet with the eyes of a hungry lion eyeing beef.

She completely disregarded her status as the leader of the Giant Deer tribe. She walked up to Hou, squatted down, and closely examined and studied the pair of white sneakers.

"Wow! Where did these come from? They're so beautiful! I really want a pair! Can I trade a hundred cows for them?"

"My boyfriend gave this to me! I can't get a replacement! There's only one pair! They're very precious!" Hou said confidently, hands on his hips, taking a small step forward with one leg, making a gesture similar to standing at ease.

The leader of the Giant Deer tribe widened his eyes and pointed at Hou's bra, before he could even ask what it was called. The Black Stone tribe leader, "Flower," blurted out, "That's called a bra! It's for preventing sagging!"

"Oh! They look so beautiful! I really want one of these!" The chieftain of the Giant Deer tribe lifted his large, slightly sagging breasts with both hands and added, "If I had a bra like this, mine would be bigger and firmer than any of yours!"

On their way back to the Black Stone Tribe, Xu Que and Ha Gang rehearsed their prepared statements upon arrival. Xu Que told Ha Gang, "When we get back to the tribe, if Hou asks about the bump on your forehead, just say you bumped into a tree while walking! Don't ever mention fighting with Gu!"

"If you say you fought the Ancient Evil that has mutated into a super giant Titan, then she won't let me out next time! She's always worried I'll get hurt! That girl is henpecked!"
